Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed November 20, 1912. Serial No. 732,553.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known thatI, JOHN BARRETT, a

resident of the city of Montreal, in the Province of Quebec and Dominion of Canada, have invented-certain new and useful "Improvements in Safety Pockets for Trousers; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

, Currency and other things are frequently lost from the trousers pockets when gentlemen are reclining owing to the walls of the pockets leading in an even line to the mouth of. the pocket, and to obviate this without encumbering the pockets with attachments or complications of any kind is the object of my invention.

The invention may be said, briefly, to consist of a one piece pocket, the rear wall 0 which has a horizontal extension or subpocket at an acute angle to the main length 'of the pocket; the extension or sub-pocket being supported against sagging by a strap hung from the waistline of the trousers.

, For full comprehension however, of my invention reference must be had to the acapart of this specification in which similar reference characters indicate the same parts, and wherein:

Figurel is a rear view of a'portion of a pair of trousers with my improved pocket attached and illustrated in elevation, and

Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional view taken online A A, Fig.1.

The portion of one side of a. pair of trousers is indicated at b, the opening formmg the mouth of the pocket being indicated at b and the waistline at 0. The ocket is made by folding a single piece 0 pocketmateria the front edge d,and it is cut to present substantially straight edges e forming when stitched in place thef i perpo rtion ofthe I two witnesses on itself on a straight line forming Y rearedge of the pocket. A rearwardly extended sub-pocket in forms the lower portion of this rear edge and is presented by cutting in a line f at a slight acute angle to the line (2. From the end of this line 7 the cutting extends in a gentle curve as at g and forms the bottom of the pocket terminating at the forward edged. These ofi-set lines f, g of the respective inner and outer sides of the pocket are stitched together. This sub-pocket is preferably supported and kept in position to have open communication with the main pocket by a strap m stitched at its upper end at the waistline and its lower end to the apex of the subpocket.

- When the wearer assumes a reclining position the currency or other loose articles in his pocket will follow the curved line 9 and be lodged in the sub-pocket 7c and thus be' Patented Get. a, was.

prevented from falling from the main I pocket.

What I claim is as follows 1. The combination with a pair of trousers of a side pocket having an integral subpocket extending rearwardly from the lower portion of the rear edge. of the main pocket v of said rear edge and supplemental supportand at an'acute angle to the upper portion ing means for said sub-pocket.

. 2. trousers, of a side pocket having a sub-' pocket extending rearwardly from the lower portion of the rear edge of the main pocket and at an acute angle to the 'upper portio-n of the said rear edge and a strap supporting the sub-pocket.
